			Getting Swiss 
			Airmail off the Ground 1913-1923 
			 | 
			
			 
			American Air Mail 
			Society (AAMS) 
			
			Switzerland followed a 
			different path toward sustainable airmail service than other 
			countries.  In 1913, 
			carrying covers by plane helped raise consciousness and raised money 
			toward establishment of a Swiss air force. 
			Then in 1919 service was attempted, flown by the Swiss air 
			force.  But that was not 
			a viable, cost-effective service. 
			Finally in 1923, sustainable airmail service was established.
